Spry Fox has been making a new kind of bullet hell game for the past five years, and the indie studio is finally ready to show off Steambirds Alliance. And unlike other games in the genre, it’s pretty hard to grief other players.

It’s a beautiful PC game, one where every explosion is colorful and you are in an airship fighting against other flying objects in a 2D scene. Like in other bullet hell games, your job is to keep shooting at everything that moves and avoid getting hit yourself.
